Dimension & Load Values

All dimensions shown are in millimetres unless otherwise stated.

Where overall dimensions are shown these are generally rounded to full millimetres. Decimal points are carried only where it is important for the fit and function of the component.

Load values refer to static condition only unless otherwise stated. Varying conditions and environments can result in different load values therefore we recommend that tests are carried out using samples supplied by us.

All dimensions and technical specifications are subject to change without notice; improvements to tooling, design and finish are carried out constantly. If these improvements affect the fit or function of a part that you already take from us we will advise you of the change.

Metal Finishes & Statutory Requirements

At JET PRESS we pride ourselves on keeping abreast of the various Environmental and Health & Safety issues that affect us. In the near future our parts and corrosion-resistant finishes will have to comply with statutory requirements such as the End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV), Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directives.

With this in mind, we have taken the decision to omit the finish details of metal fasteners from this edition of our catalogue. Our Sales department can advise you which finishes are readily available for a particular part and will, consult our Technical department in order to advise on suitable alternatives, particularly if environmental issues are involved.

Documentation

Drawings, CAD data, Initial Sample Inspection Reports (ISIR) and Certificates of Conformity (C of C) are available on request.

PPAPs and other types of specialised Quality Support documentation can be supplied where applicable. There may be a charge for this service. Please contact us for further information.

Suitability for Purpose

Please note that we make every effort to ensure that the data contained in this catalogue is accurate and JET PRESS Ltd cannot be held responsible for any errors, typographical or otherwise.

Drawings contained herein are for reference only and should not be used for product specification.

For new applications we recommend that you carry out assembly tests using samples supplied by us.

Please note that the following information is for guidance only. If you require the exact material specification for any of our parts, please contact us.

A range of high-grade engineering thermoplastics displaying strength, toughness and flexibility. They are resistant to oils, fats, and most solvents and have good fatigue and creep resistance. Degrades in sunlight, but external durability can be improved by the addition of weather-resistant black colourant. Mechanical performance can be enhanced by the addition of minute glass beads (hence “Glass-Filled Nylon”). Typical service temperature -50°C to 85°C.

A rigid and tough thermoplastic which has spring-like qualities with good impact resistance and dimensional stability. It has good electrical insulation, friction, and wear properties. Typical service temperature range is –15°C to +85°C.

Provides a high level of toughness and flexibility at low temperatures and is impact resistant and weatherproof. Typical service temperature -30°C to 50°C for Low density grades (LDPE), and -40°C to 60°C for High Density grades (HDPE).

Has similar properties to rubber and is primarily used for seals and moulded flexible parts. Outstanding ozone and weather resistance. Service temperature typically -70°C to 200°C.

A range of mouldable rubber-like compounds capable of being made in a wide range of hardness and with a wide range of uses. Has high resistance to water, abrasion and chemicals.

A durable, flexible plastic which has excellent electrical properties. Often used as an inexpensive alternative to rubber, especially for grommets, hole plugs and sealing applications. Typical service temperature –35°C to 50°C, but higher temperature grades are available.

An extremely durable thermosetting plastic which can be made with a high gloss finish on decorative items such as knobs and handles.

A versatile thermoplastic which is resistant to many solvents and acids.

A colourless, odourless and water resistant material which remains stable at high temperatures and so is excellent for lubricants and masking products.

An extremely tough, usually transparent, material. Service temperature is typically -100°C to 135°C.

Colour

Plastic fasteners are usually available in Natural or Black, but most of our suppliers will colour match to a sample or RAL number if quantities are sufficient.

Please note that the following information is for guidance only. If you require the exact material specification for any of our parts, please contact us.

A high quality spring steel which is Austempered to give the best combination of flexibility and toughness. We have strong connections with all of our coatings suppliers and can offer many different corrosion-resisting finishes, including Zinc plating and dip-and-spin coatings to comply with the more commonly-used automotive and industrial finishes.

High quality deep drawn or cold-rolled steel which can be finished to our customer’s specifications.

There are many different grades of stainless steel, all having a degree of corrosion resistance to water and chemicals. Our suppliers select the grade with properties most suited to their products and applications.

A corrosion-resistant metal which readily lends itself to cold forming and so is ideal for clothing and marine fasteners. We can offer several decorative finishes, the most popular by far being Nickel plate.

High quality material which is suitable for die-casting intricate shapes. Is corrosion resistant and readily lends itself to zinc plating to enhance its appearance.
